Text

Information from subjects’ SSAGA interview was used to classify AUD status. Specifically, interviewed subjects were coded as affected (1) or unaffected (0) based on whether they met lifetime criteria for DSM-5 AUD. That is, subjects who endorsed two or more criteria that clustered within a single 12-month period were diagnosed with AUD.
